Four of us, two adults two kids, and Cairns managed to keep everyone entertained without a single argument about what to do next, which almost never happens on our family trips. Daintree rainforest at Mossman Gorge was calm and educational, the reef day was pure exhilaration, and evenings by the lagoon let the kids just be kids. Encountering actual crocodiles safely up close became the story they told everyone back home.
Crocodile spotting had the kids screaming with excitement the entire boat ride.
The reef trip was unforgettable for the whole family, boat crew were fantastic with nervous first time swimmers. Cairns Lagoon got extremely crowded on weekends though, difficult to find shade with young kids.
Wildlife park visit felt rushed, we were shuffled between koala photo stops so quickly the kids barely got to enjoy them. Reef day made up for it, easily the best part of the week.
The Cairns Lagoon was so packed on the Saturday we couldn't find shade for the toddler and gave up by lunch.
We'd pictured a relaxed family week, but the run of reef trips, rainforest walks and wildlife parks left our four-year-old fried and cranky most evenings. A beautiful destination, just not paced for the littlest ones.
June to August, during Cairns' delightful dry season, offering clear skies and perfect conditions for exploring the reef and rainforest.
